Being ignored is not pleasant, is it? When this happens, you start to wonder what you did wrong. Did you say something like that? Maybe we shouldn't have sent that message?
Analyzing why he hasn't texted you for days or even weeks won't help. It is as it is, you have no influence on it anymore.
Never forget that ignoring is a sign of disrespect and thank such a man for showing his true face. As for you, continue your journey with people who respect you as you are.
Let's see what are the most common reasons why men ignore women.
1. He wasn't in love with you
Men will always be men. If they are single, they will always try to flirt with as many women as possible. Each of them sets some basic standards for themselves, and if you meet their criteria, they will become more interested in you, but only up to a point.
If there are other women besides you that he is dating or texting, he only has you as a backup and will text you when everyone else leaves him. If so, it is better for you to walk away because such a man is not worth your time.
2. He is angry or hurt and doesn't want to talk about it
He likes you and you both developed feelings for each other but you hurt him with something. Now he is angry, hurt or disappointed with you, but he is not man enough to tell you that. He is afraid that confronting you would make things worse, that he would be hurt even more, so he prefers to ignore you.
You can take the blame for him feeling that way, but it's not your fault he's ignoring you. His immaturity, ego and pride do not allow him to face the things that bother him.
3. He's just too busy
It happens. It happens to everyone. You are overwhelmed with work and have no time for friends or family. But if someone cares about you, they will find time for you, even in their busy schedule. Everyone has enough time to send a short message.
4. You are too possessive
Problems begin when a man feels that he cannot breathe because of you. You text him all day. If he didn't answer, you call him. He doesn't pick up the call because he assumes he'll be bombarded with questions like: "Where have you been? Who were you with?”
Maybe he's sleeping or in an important meeting. Either way, everyone needs some space for themselves. It doesn't mean he doesn't like you anymore. Maybe he's waiting to text you until the evening just so he can see how much you've missed him. Some simply enjoy ignoring and panicking women.

This is hard to believe at first, but the fact that someone new is entering his life is too frightening for him. He is a man who has always been somewhat closed off and never shared his feelings with anyone. Such men more often have secrets or traumas, they are afraid that someone would get too close to them and find out about all the hidden fears.
The women he had until now were only superficially involved in his life. He started building something deeper with you and he doesn't know how to deal with it. If he is mature enough, he will overcome his fears and be ready to commit to a long-term relationship. Then he will be the one to contact you.
6. He got what he wanted
He only wanted short flings, but if you fell in love with him, that's not his problem. He never took you seriously and had only one goal, to get what he wanted. As soon as he has achieved that, he wants to move on, and the easiest way is to ignore you. Even if he had some feelings for you, he realized that he was only driven by lust and passion.
Or he met someone else and thinks you are the one he doesn't need in his life.
Try to have an open conversation first, if that's not possible, don't beat yourself up about why he's ignoring you. Leave him where he is – in his ignorance – and move on.
